IN THE SHOP: Eleven New Vintage Watches For Sale, Including A Mint, Full-Set Red Sub, A Grail Amongs
And we're back! Yes, after dropping 12 vintage watches last Wednesday (of which 10 have already sold) we've decided to keep the hits coming with 11 new additions to the H Shop. This time we've found a few blue-chips, as always, like the most amazing Red Submariner you will ever see (complete with every accessory you can ever ask for), the insanely rare and highly sought after solid-gold Heuer Carrera from 1960s (find another, we dare you), and more. Have a glance below for some details and check them all out right here in the HODINKEE Shop. 1970s Red Submariner With Full Boxes, Papers, Hang Tags, And More 1 OF 10 For years, the Red Submariner has been atop the kingdom of non-gilt-dial Submariners, and it has always been a fan-favorite among vintage watch lovers for its single line of red text and immensely useful date window. The Red 1680 remains an all-time classic that readers have actually written in to request, and us being us, we've gone ahead

My Simple but Important Lesson
I'll try and keep this simple - between Omega and Rolex.I went window browsing yesterday and put on a Rolex SM to see if I liked the look and feel¡­ I have to say I wasn't impressed with the size of it.. I guess in my mind I was expecting something more grand. They all seemed to be much smaller than I anticipated.While I think the Rolex makes fine timepieces, I felt a bit let down. This has been an important lesson for me and now I can confidently review further into the Speedy Pro 3573.50. The 40mm size of the watch may make the difference. Thought I would share this simple but sometimes overlooked process for us noobies.. - try it on if you can - it may make all the difference.Has anyone else been through this exercise?? Any other tips?Thanks

Tip#8: Storing watches 'vintage' style
As the 'passion' grows, so does the collection, its like a cancer, it takes over your body, luckily not killing you, but filling you with happyness.But where to keep all those 'magical' finds? Well surely the valuable ones should be in the safe, but the 'day to day' the 'fun' ones to wear, where to keep them?A drawer? A Shoe box? No not me, my watches how ever humble, deserve to be in places of 'dignity and honour'So! I buy 'vintage' boxes, mainly wooden Georgian boxes from @ 1870 to 1910. These beautuful wooden boxes truly enhance your collection, see below.This is a 1910 oak box with a drawer:This is even older. It is a flight of drawers, about 1890. Each drawer has a tiny lock with a key. It is MAGICAL!!This Drawer holds my 1920/30 Elgin, still in its original box!This lower drawer has my 'watch Strap' collection, and the top one 'a loupe'How cool is that, and the cost. About $150 each

Can I wear my Rolex in the Appalachian Mountains?
Spring Break 2018 in the gorgeous Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. I think the Datejust II is up for the task! White dial right at home with the beautiful powdered snow in the background. She is far from her normal comfort zone of central Florida but seems right at home on my wrist wherever I am! Happy Spring Break 2018!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
